Mike Kelly Tristant, 23, of Wales Township, pleaded guilty to fraud after posing as a bail bondsman to scam a local woman out of $8,500. In January, he convinced her that her grandson was in jail and needed bail. Tristant collected the money, but when he called the next day asking for $12,000 more, the woman realized it was a scam and contacted Michigan State Police. Officers caught him attempting to flee when he returned to pick up the additional payment. Tristant faces up to five years in prison.
